No compromising

Get everything you want without buying more than you need with the PowerEdge™ C5220 microserver. This scale-out, highly serviceable, hyperefficient microserver offers increased density to help save cost, energy, rack space and cabling.

Put your microserver to work

Each independent PowerEdge™ C5220 hot-plug server is mounted on a small sled that slides vertically into the 3U PowerEdge™ C5000 chassis. The compact system is ideal for:

Hosting: Help maximize your productivity per square foot with high server-node density and a shared infrastructure that enables efficient cooling and cabling for cloud system infrastructure and dedicated, virtualized, shared, root-access or SQL hosting.

Cut, save and simplify

Take advantage of the PowerEdge™ C5220 microserver design to help build a cost-effective data center that doesn't sacrifice performance. Shared fans and components help provide greater performance per watt than traditional 1U servers.

Cut costs

The PowerEdge™ C5220 packs up to 12 microservers in a 3U PowerEdge™ C5000 chassis, sharing power and cooling resources and using only a fraction of the cooling fans compared to a stack of 1U servers.

Save space

With up to 12 server nodes, the 3U PowerEdge™ C5000 chassis has four times the density of three traditional single-socket 1U servers stacked together, enabling more computing power per U of rack space.

Simplify servicing

Power supplies, interconnect and servers are all cold-aisle accessible, giving you the flexibility to raise the temperature of your data center and thus lower cooling costs.

Inside the PowerEdge C5220

You can see that the PowerEdge™ C5220 microserver and C5000 chassis are designed for efficiency. The 3U chassis features an optimized shared infrastructure designed to support up to 12 compact Intel®-powered microservers that are inserted on vertically mounted sleds. Each has a rich feature set that helps you get the job done while helping cut costs, save space and simplify serviceability.

ProcessorIntel® Xeon® E3-1200 or E3-1200v2 processor with 2 or 4 cores supports up to 65 W thermal design power (TDP) for the 12-sled microserver and up to 95 W TDP for the 8-sled version.
